Ooohhh! She's good.

Boys and Girls if you need lessons on how to speak for an hour without saying anything---she's the one to watch!

So what you are saying is that Will Continue's real name is Janet Abrams.

-- Who Would Have Guessed (shilling@home.now), August 29, 1999.

Who,

You obviously haven't been paying attention.

Will Continue does, in fact, make her opinions very clear. I don't believe waffling is a word that could be accurately used to describe her.

It's a shame you have your ears plugged up and your blinders on. You ought to try taking them off once in a while.

Perhaps you could benefit from a surgical procedure -- a proctosigmocraniectomy. Not quite the same thing as the 'Lasik' eye surgery, but I've been told it achieves similar results.

Wilfred Continue, Tell me if this doesn't apply to Will Continue

Read before you type, man!

An Amazed,

What part do you not understand? Will Continue's opinions are quite clear to see/hear/understand. I don't think many folks would argue that she waffles in her views or obfuscates her position.

Oh, I see.

If you don't agree with what someone is saying, they aren't saying anything.

Hmmm.

-- Wilferd (WilferdW@aol.com), August 29, 1999.

Will(fred) Continue, When, I mean WHEN does Will say anything of value? I'm not saying she waffles her position. I am saying she does not type anything but rude and pointless insults to anyone she does not like.

Its amazing the lack of reading skills being taught in our schools today. Hopefully y2k will cause a new educational system to come in place. And hopefully you will learn some critical thinking skills before y2k hits. If you keep checking TB2000 there is hope for you though.

Unfortunately, I have been watching a taped program of Janet on Cspan's Washington Journal. That means no calls are being taken at this time. What was Janet doing when she was crossing off things in her notebook? Crossing off pre-arranged callers' name and key points for her canned responses? [grin] She offers the same canned answers as John Koskinen. However, she may have slipped in the sense that she indicates that her experience has nothing to do with programming or computers, but... public relations. After all, isn't that what the President's Council on 2000 Conversion is all about: public relations?

Can I switch the subject back to Janet Abrams?

I agree.. SHE'S GOOD!

I need to add her to my list of magicians [see my comments in the thread Hamasaki: Koskinen has single handedly sandbagged the whole country] A caller asked if Clinton's administration or Koskinen's concil was going to mount an ad campaign to inform citizens about Y2K (the caller focused on the need to REASSURE the sheeple that everything is hunky dory.. (my words). Janet (magicians attractive assistant) Abrams "made a flippy motion with a hanky" and said that Koskinen felt that rather than giving broad generalizations in an ad campaign it was better to have those Community Conversations (guaranteed to be attended by at least 6 people), and that INDIVIDUALS should check with their local utilities, banks, and businesses to assess their level of readiness. [all from memory, not verbatim]

Make a flippy motion with a hanky and - POOF! - informing you the public is not THEIR job, it is YOUR job.

Good... they are both very good. Very entertaining. Applause, applause.

Stan - I too noticed the scribblings. I don't think it was prearranged callers, but her actions, comments and even facial movements were very practiced. From the Clinton School of Looking Deeply Concerned [while scribbling hangman puzzles or some such]. With Clinton its the biting the lip thingy. With Janet its the eyes and slight nod of the head. Very professional. Academy awards all around.

Janet Abrams, Stanford Graduate School of Business, class of '87:

March 1998 reunion

I became the garbage queen. Decidedly un-trashy Janet Abrams referred to her expertise on waste management in an advertising and publicity position. Janet spoke as part of a class panel Friday on careers. Her field campaign work, Capitol Hill experience, plus state and local government roles led to a White House fellowship where Janet focused on issues related to teen pregnancy and all things Olympic -- Atlanta, Special Olympics, para-Olympics. She is currently leading a commission on critical infrastructure, looking at the nations vulnerability to technology hacking and sabotage.

Interesting description of the "Year 2000 Council", neh?

One more note: Ms. Abrams was reportedly a staffer for VP (and inventor of the Internet) Gore just before she got her current Exec Director gig.
